Chapter 560 - 380: Various Purple-Level Weapons!
It’s already dark today, Xu Xin and Niu Fugui agreed to discuss rock climbing tomorrow.
Tonight, let him have a good rest, so he can be in the best condition for climbing the next day.
Xu Xin also handed over the necessary climbing tools and blue-grade fruits to him in advance.
These things are not very valuable, but Niu Fugui basically had none of them.
In his recent conversation with him, Xu Xin roughly understood his personality.
This guy is truly the type to go with the flow and be content with staying out of trouble.
Even though his abilities are not weak, you could even say he is among the top talents of all survivors.
Yet his ranking is somewhat dismal.
Among the over 3,000 people in District 188, he ranks over 2,400.
This ranking is really quite ordinary, even somewhat poor.
If Xu Xin had not happened to notice his words at the time, he might not have discovered this person at all.
Even when he initially noticed Niu Fugui, it was because he lay on top of a treehouse roof getting drenched for a whole day without getting sick.
Why was he lying on top of the treehouse roof?
Because he didn’t have a second-floor treehouse.
Because during the dungeon activity, he discovered the entrance to the dungeon but didn’t enter it.
He is an ordinary person who is content with the status quo, satisfied with just surviving, not wanting to take another step forward.
Actually, most people are like him.
After going through dangerous labyrinths and finally finding the dungeon entrance, assuring themselves they won’t die...
Would they still enter the dungeon?
If they enter, they might die, but if they don’t, they’re certain to survive.
Retreat and have a clear view.
This might be the choice of most people.
Therefore, as an ordinary person like this, Niu Fugui felt a bit regretful immediately after agreeing to Xu Xin’s request.
Dressed in a set of green-grade leather armor, he lay on his simple bed, surrounded by the resources Xu Xin gave him.
He stared blankly at the ceiling.
Why did he agree to climb such a high Xue Feng...
Even the top-ranked individuals in District 1 died during the climb...
Does he really have the ability to climb up it?
His heart was struggling madly at this moment.
Wondering whether to regret it and return the stuff.
That way, he wouldn’t have to challenge such immense difficulties.
But if he did, he’d surely miss this opportunity.
He took a deep breath and suddenly slapped himself.
"I already agreed, took the stuff, so I must do it!"
"As long as I succeed, I will also be someone who made it to the world’s leaderboard!"
"I can also join the explorers!"
"Moreover, entering the leaderboard will have rewards!"
"Do it! I must do it!"
"I can’t continue being so decadent!"
"Sleep, recuperate!"
"...It’s only 4 o’clock, isn’t it a bit too early."
...
Meanwhile, Xu Xin had already shared what he discussed with Niu Fugui to the explorers’ group.
At this time, they had basically settled down those survivors.
Ji Chaoyang: "I haven’t paid attention to this person. If he really can succeed, it would be a huge benefit to our arrangement."
Wen Guixin: "Niu Fugui? Who is he? He can really succeed in climbing the snowy mountain? I nearly didn’t make it, can he? What if he can’t, wouldn’t that harm him..."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Damn, Brother Xin can even remember an arbitrary sentence during the rainy season!"
Qin Yunlong: "This is the observational power of the area’s number one..."
Qin Yunhu: "Strong."
Wang Lei: "I was chatting and discussing with my brothers and sisters, how did Brother Xin end up doing something major?"
Xu Xin: "You will know the result tomorrow."
He then sent a private message to Zhao Xiaochuan, asking for a cloaker’s cloak, planning to give it to Niu Fugui.
To prevent him from encountering an attack during the climb like he did.
"Brother Xin, we currently have many treehouse cores, are the materials enough? I can’t wait to have purple-grade armor and weapons!" Zhao Xiaochuan sent this after forwarding the cloaker’s cloak.
"I’ll ask Wenxi." Xu Xin replied.
Indeed, they already have over a hundred people on their side, and basically, each possesses a treehouse core.
As long as there are sufficient blue-grade materials, they can even begin small-scale production of purple-grade steel armor and weapons!
Of course, the core can only upgrade basic materials like wood, stones, and ores; materials carved from mutated creatures or harvested herbs, fruits, and water resources can’t be upgraded.
But combined with Li Wenxi’s mining ability and his steel forging skills, the treehouse core in their hands can be used to its maximum potential.
And other areas can’t replicate their actions this time, not even if they connect through the Transmission Array.
Because they don’t have the financial capability like Li Wenxi to give a blue-grade iron axe to everyone who joins voluntarily.
So, if others want a treehouse core, they can only have purple-grade personnel do it themselves, which drastically lowers efficiency.
He immediately wanted to contact Li Wenxi.
However, before he could take action, she sent him a trade request first.
Accepted the trade.
Hundreds of blue-grade steel blocks in hand.
Even six purple-grade steel blocks, presumably smelted through her ability.
...This is so much!
Her harvest today is indeed substantial!
These materials are definitely enough to equip the explorers with steel armor and weapons!
At this moment, Li Wenxi called with an audio call.
She rarely uses video now since they can meet anytime.
"These are all my achievements today!" Li Wenxi’s voice sounded a bit tired, "I gave you everything in one go, should be enough, right?"
"It’s enough, definitely enough." Xu Xin laughed, "What kind of weapon do you want?"
"Hmm, a spear! I feel like you look really cool using a spear, I should be able to do it too, right?"
"Alright, I’ll make you a spear then."
"Oh no, I gotta go, Yajun is calling me down. She’s holding some kind of welcoming party for the newbies, wants me to go check it out."
...There’s actually something like a welcoming party?
"Then go quickly, you are their boss after all."
"Yeah!"
After ending the call, Xu Xin immediately told them in the explorer group that materials were collected, asking them to send over sufficient treehouse cores.
A few seconds later, his watch vibrated, and Zhao Xiaochuan was the first one to send a trade.
The trade included cores from five low treehouses and one piece of purple-grade wood.
"Brother Xin, I want a purple-grade dagger, thanks Brother Xin!"
This piece of purple-grade wood was upgraded with the treehouse cores before.
However...
This treehouse core, could actually be traded?
This point might be something to take advantage of.
Soon, the others also sent over their treehouse cores, materials, and requests.
Xu Xin immediately started crafting.
He first used the treehouse cores at hand to upgrade a bunch of purple-grade steel blocks.
Looking at these forty-plus purple-grade steel blocks in front of him, Xu Xin felt like his eyes were about to turn purple.
Up until now, he couldn’t imagine having so many purple-grade materials in his possession!
He felt like he was the richest person in the world right now.
No, that’s not just a feeling.
He truly is the richest person in the world now!
After all, who else could possess so many purple-grade materials like he does?
And the strongest steel among equals!
Absurd!
He immediately went to the workshop, standing in front of the weapon and armor crafting station.
First, he continuously created nine sets of purple-grade steel armor, one set for the remaining nine people including Lou Fei’Er.
Each set of purple-grade steel armor required four pieces of purple-grade steel blocks, and after finishing these, he was left with thirty-six fewer purple-grade steel blocks.
...That’s a lot, kinda hurts.
But, they weren’t short on purple-grade materials.
Now, their group of explorers held over a hundred treehouse cores!
Every recharge cycle, they could get over a hundred purple-grade materials!
Even without the recharge room’s amplification, they could recharge in 5 days.
Every five days, a hundred basic purple-grade resources!
A lot, so no need to be frugal.
Speaking of which, can each recharge room only recharge one treehouse core?
The energy core fragments in his hands...
Could they be recharged?
Although pondering, his hands didn’t stop, continuing to craft the weapons everyone wanted.
With flashes of purple light, one by one, purple-grade weapons were born from his hands.
Seeing these weapons with various special abilities in front of him, Xu Xin was truly a bit stunned.
Purple-grade weapons were no longer in the blueprint’s original form.
Just like his halberd, it was made using a spear blueprint, but came out as a halberd.
The weapons in front of him were the same.
Dagger with blood groove, barbed daggers, consuming double the blue-grade steel blocks, extraordinarily heavy machete.
The most outrageous was, he clearly made a spear, but got a gigantic scythe instead.
Death God’s scythe.
And a Yanyue Blade.
Yes, it’s the kind of blade that Guan Gong from the romance held.
Honestly, it’s pretty cool.
He even kind of wanted to keep it for himself.
But...that’s really strange.
When he made that purple-grade dagger for Lou Fei’Er, this situation didn’t happen.
The purple-grade dagger in Lou Fei’Er’s hand was just a very ordinary purple-grade dagger.
However, that dagger wasn’t made of steel, but from special materials obtained from cutting a snow leopard’s carcass.
Could it be that these changes only happen with purple-grade steel weapons?
Although the appearance was odd, the weapons’ special effects were quite normal.
The special effects of weapons of the same kind were almost identical.
The special effect of all daggers was making wounds unable to heal.
The newly made daggers with different styles both had this effect.
The effect of long-handled weapons was absorbing life force and restoring one’s condition.
Halberds, giant scythes, Yanyue Blades all had this effect.
Then there’s the large machete that only Wang Lei requested, its effect was weight alteration.
When in your own hand, its weight is halved, but when hitting an enemy unit, the weight and force double, making it harder to withstand.
Similar to Thor’s hammer?
You can wield it, others can’t catch it?
Kind of powerful.
